I'll update more later, but for now: Awesome day, hot as hell, had bro-in law Glenn and mate Rick (ex-FZ750-not-going-yet) also riding my Yzf in different groups. Thanks to Steve Butler we stuck some almost new Bridgie slicks on and the bike behaved very well and held up to many modern machines, other than the main straight at times... we'll work on that this year hopefully with more powere one way or another.
Thanks to James n Vinne, Mark N Tony and all other flagging on such a hot day ...
James actually crashed right behind me when his modern radial front Brembo master cylinder failed... broke the 6 hour 3-rd place getter bike's frame. ouch. no one got rushed to hospital that day, which was awesome, especially as i was also involved in being on medical assist stand-by in the morning...
There were some other retro bikes, like 2 x fzr400s, one with a 600 engine. It's of interest that after 17 years of riding at Oran, I was still improving my lines a little. To no benefit, seeing this was the last rideday there for me ...
